Why would you use max? It's usually unnecessary and even prone to overthinking. In my experience, since Opus 5 the medium/high is usually enough (until 4.8 I used xhigh, but never max). Even low is quite usable these days..

actually I meant to say xhigh.

even at xhigh I get context compaction quite a bit.
